THE MINERS ARE STILL OUT IN THE LIE
high coal region, and although the eleventh
week of the strike has passed they are as
persistently determined as ever to accept
no concession that is not up to the full re-
ouil ements of the demand made over two
months ago. The ultimate result of this
disagreement between operator and miner
will be complication of all business enter
prises in the Lehigh Valley if much longer
prolonged. Already apprehensions are en-
tertained by many in this vicinity that the
Lehigh Valley Company will shut down
the Packerton car shops, for what reason,
and with what Jesuit is obvious to our
readers. We hope the 1umor will prove to
be without foundation or fact for a suspen-
sion at this time would prove lamentable
to the employees of the shops-many Of
whom with large families and much advers-
ity have been unable to Law by for rainy
day sufficiencY of the necessary to tide
them over several months suspension

DEMOCRATIC NEwsPAPERs

DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPERS IN THE
State of New Jersey are much nonplussed
at the natter of fact manner in which Re-
publicans of that State managed to secure
majority of the big offices-Senate and
Legislature. One of our esteemed con-
temporaries, the Dover N. j.. Inder, re-
marks that the Jersey ''leaders must have
been very sleepy and asks "where was
Mcpherson, Abbot. Green, Kelsey, Little,
Kruger and the rest?" At this distance
we incline to the belief that they were in
dulging in an adjustment of personal polit-
ical matters, with what result is obvious.

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT OF THE
United States Treasurer the surplus in the
Treasury amounts to nearly sl05, ,00O, ,000-
an increase of nearly s9,5oo, 900 within the
year This enormous sum has been ex-
torted from the people, and is lying idle in
the Treasury vaults, whereas under a sen
sible stem of finance 1t would be circu-
lating through the channels of business and
trade. The largest share of this surplus
has been drawn from the duties on imports,
and this fact affords to Congress a signifi.
cant hint where to apply the knife of fiscal
reform.

THE TRADE DOLLAR ACCOUNT, WHICH
is now closed, shows that 7,6so,OS6 trade
dollars were redeemed out of total coin
age of SS5,000,000. In view of the very
considerable profit afforded by the specu-

SiDsed Hair,

Smuggling hair is the latest device of
the BARRIERS to draw u customers money,
said tonsorial artist to a St. Louis
Globe reporter. Ihear it is being worked
very successfully down East, but it has
not reached this city yet. Smuggling is
done either by red.hot irons or by fame.
The hair is held up in comb as now in
cutting, and the ends arc singed off. 1t
is custom that finds favor with those
who have tendency to badness. The
barber tells them that their hair is com.
ing out. They get frightened, and then
he tells them it is caused by the oil Of
the root escaping from the top of each
individual hair. If the patron admits
that gauzy statement the barber follows
it up with the remedy, which, of course,
is nothing more than smuggling the top of
each hair. This, the customer is told,
will stop up the hollow by causing hard
little knob to form at the end. That
sounds reasonable, and they take the
singeing. As each hair is left with the
frizzlcd end the entire head of hair looks
thicker, and the customer looking in the
glass thinks his hair is really improving
under the smuggling and getting thicker.
So he is happy, and nobody is hurt. But
the barber ought to be excused for this
little scheme. The trade is not what it
used to be. The dye business is almost
forgotten, although 90 years ago it was
the most fruitful source of revenue.
Then everybody had his beard or mus
taehe dyed. Brownish or light whiskers
were rare then. Everything had to be
black. 1t was so cents for five minutes
work on the thinnest mustache, so the
profits could not help being great.

A. the Cembriigo Savings rank-Leas
than $1,000 the Amount OF recuis-
lions.
A defalcation has occurred In the old Cam
bridge Savings Bank, although not OF large
proportions, A few days ago the treasurer
of tho bank discovered something apparently
wrong In the acc cunts OF the clerk, Mr.. John
H. Thurston. That gentleman was at oncl
called into tho OIL OF tho president and
iharply quesio n,d. He without hesitation
admitted that his accounts were wrong and
that he was defauter in sum los
than $1,000. Thu'ston was at
once discharged and an OK.
animation OF the books was begun. There Is
no reason TO believe that the shortage will
exceed the figures named by Thurston. II
accounts for his shortage by the fact tat
the long illness and recent death OF his
father were serious drain upon his 70
sources. Little b. little he has yielded to
temptation and ussd the money of tho bank
to meet the most pressing of the demands
upon him until the amount had gone beyond
his control, There is not the smallest doubt
of the entire solvency of the bank, and there
will be no interruption of its business on &C,
count of this unfortunate occurrence.

The reason Of ''the sun putting out a
fire" is thus explained: AT the time of
day when the sun shines into room tho
fire is often allowed to get dull, and the
suns rays warm and rarely the air in
the room as much as the fire warns the
air passing over it up the chimney.
Hence the draught ceases, and the fire
goes out. To remedy the inconvenience

warm air out and cold in,

the latter are attracted by the ants, but
whence the ants and gnats come is a
mystery. The insects often arrive in
such numbers as to cover the floors of
the observatory, where they are crushed

WINS Of Breathing.

There are lazy ways of breathing and
one-sided ways of breathing, and the
particularly bad habit OF breathing
through the mouth. Now, the nose was
meant to breathe through, and it is mar
velously arranged for filtering the impu-
rites out of the air and for changing 1t
to suitable temperature for entering
the lungs. The mouth has no such ap.

through the nose it has an injurious ef-
